Parents should be shining examples to the children. Your character, personal magnetism is the force that shapes your children. They are your images. Your thoughts, aspirations, mental states and behaviour are all reflected in them. They have keen power of observation. They watch you with absorbing interest. How you speak, how you behave with each other, how you conduct yourself in home and society, all these are subjects of their silent study. Your are their world. And from he influence of this world of yours, their character takes shape. Thatís why parents should be shining examples to the children.
